We were first contacted by Carl and Sarah last year. They were inspecting highland herds around the country with an aim to start a fold of their own. After many emails to arrange a visit, both with busy schedules plus a 13 hour drive for Carl and Sarah to travel, we got to meet this lovely couple in late April.
We were taken back with their interest and their knowledge on highland cattle that they had acquired on their travels. It’s refreshing and also piece of mind for us that the animals go to good homes and will be well cared for.
They viewed all our cattle and got to see the different genetics. We were able to point out the benefits that different AI sires could contribute to a herd, and they could see in our breeding what we were trying to achieve. After a long and detailed inspection they decided to purchase some of our best cattle. Actually cattle we didn’t have for sale!!
With lots of planning the cattle were collected yesterday in the very early hours, to set off on their long trip to the border of Queensland and NSW. The plan was to leave in the dark so they arrived in daylight the other end. The cattle traveled in style in a specially designed horse transporting truck. One cow is due to calve in spring so she couldn’t have asked for a better mode of transport.
Today we got some photos. Great to see they have arrived safe and are now settling into their new home. We know with Carl and Sarah the cattle will thrive. We wish them all the best!
